Okay. So, by now, you’ve probably noticed a change in my posting schedule. Like… I’m hardly posting.

I’ve been off the road for four weeks now. Four weeks. That’s almost unheard of for me. It’s not due to the economy — it’s actually been somewhat purposeful. It was time to recharge. Time to stay home for a bit. Time to pretend to be a normal person.

So what have I been doing? I’m slipping into routines. The above is my Saturday morning; 7:00 a.m. at the farmer’s market, then find some breakfast downtown where there’s sidewalk seating. This is my new life. Not too bad.

I’ve also taken on some affectations that I’m not sure are healthy. Top of the list is that I’ve started mowing the lawn in diagonals. I’ve seen people do this for years but I never thought I’d be one of them. Huh. I’m not shooting many photos other than with my iPhone (like the above) and I haven’t worn a backpack for over a month. Who am I?!?

Have no fear — I haven’t given up the life of the nomad altogether. In fact I’ve just signed on to teach a Photoshop and Lightroom workshop in Guadalajara in October and I have several other domestic assignments between now and then. More will also be added, I’m sure. It will be good to hit the road again. The road is one of my favorite places. Home is good, too. Balancing the two is the best.
